How to mend a broken heart?
If you asked Hermione she would say "you couldn't"
If you asked Draco he would say "you first need a heart to break."
She was broken, anyone could see it, and she would wander the halls of Hogwarts silent, the blank expression that was constantly on her face. She was no longer the girl she was before the war. She was like a ghost, she was their but she wasn't at the same time. When people approached her she wouldn't see them just give them her constant stare. She never spoke anymore, she hardly ate.
Some say it was the war that broke her, the death, the torture, the stress. Others said it was her ex, who had vanished during the summer so no one could ask him and Harry wouldn't say.
She had returned to Hogwarts for it was home, as it was for so many students, it was the only place she had left she no longer cared about her education, in class she would sit and stare ahead of her, at meals it would be the same. She only showered when Ginny took her. She was like a shell, filled with nothing but beautiful and treasured by so many.
She still had Harry of course, her ever faithful best friend. He never told anyone the reason she was like this, he didn't know the whole story anyway. He stood by her side constantly. But he wanted his friend back, he missed her, it pained him to see her wasting away like this but he had gave up long ago trying to think of new things to bring a spark to her. He had tried everything, from freezing water to kissing her, from shouting and leaving her to throwing her a party, he just didn't know what to do anymore.
